Orgazmo

                     
An early production from the duo that would eventually bring us 'South Park', to my pleasure they're already taking shots at Mormons.
A comically pious Mormon is forced into becoming a porn star, and must hide the fact from his wife while fighting crime on the side as his alter-ago Orgazmo (with sidekick Choda Boy), who has the power of shooting a laser at people that gives them orgasms. 'Orgasmo' is a lot of fun all the way through, despite not having a very hard grasp of its own plot - the majority of its middle portion is a thinly veiled series of wacky events. It's done far less obnoxiously than many of these dumb comedies though (and when I say “dumb” it's not an insult so much as my own term for a stylistic choice).
                 
                 
There's almost a surplus of inventive and personal humour. You can tell it's an early creation of Parker and Stone, as you could see many of the hallmarks of their comedy in early stages of development. The resultant film is a busy mix of ideas; some under baked, some spot-on.
I feel like I know the work of the directors enough by now that if I saw this film without anyone telling me that they directed (and if I somehow missed the cameos) id have guessed that they were somehow involved. I also really appriciated all the male asses they tricked me into seeing, thanks for that guys (at one point it's just a straight cut to ass, brilliant).
